There's been a lot of nonsense spoken about Paulo Dybala and Arsenal this week. The idea of the Premier League club making a €40m bid for the player was the result of several articles being mashed together and everyone throwing the inconvenience of the truth out the window in a search for hits. We explained that here.

However, what cannot be denied is that Dybala is a very highly rated young player and there's little reason why Arsenal wouldn't be raising an eyebrow. He's been labelled the next Lionel Messi by a former teammate and is well and truly marked out to be an Argentina superstar.

Dybala has already given up the chance of representing Italy and is fully committed to fighting with Argentina's best to get himself into the team, not daunted at all by the prospect of that. The 21 year old has been speaking to the press in South America (Ole, right) and was asked about the idea of a €40m Arsenal bid, to which he replied "I'm calm. For now the news is just coming out in the media, there is nothing concrete. My head is on the clash next weekend against Torino, which is very important to us."

After talking about his future fight for an Argentina place and never being able to represent anyone else, Dybala said "Whenever people speak well of me, I'm filled with pride. I will not deny that going to Arsenal and playing in the Premier League would be amazing. However, I am aware that my reality right now is Palermo."
